Remembering: In Memoriam Evan Scofield. Evan, son of the
great jazz guitarist and Turnage collaborator John Scofield, died
of cancer at age twenty-five. The piece was co-commissioned by the
BSO with the Berlin Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestra.
Opening the program is Haydn's Symphony No. 93, one of the first of
the group of bold, innovative symphonies he wrote for performance
in London during his visits there in the early 1790s. The English
composer Edward Elgar's tour-de-force of orchestral and expressive
imagination, the Enigma Variations, is a series of widely
varied portraits of his friends via transformations of a common
musical theme.
